Oliver Glasner believes continuity is the key to success in the Premier League, something he aims to achieve in his new role at Nottingham Forest. Glasner was appointed as Forest's new manager last month following the surprise departure of Vitor Pereira, who ensured the club would remain in the top flight for the 2025-26 season. The former Crystal Palace manager, who won the FA Cup and Conference League during his time at Selhurst Park, is Forest's fifth manager in the last twelve months. The team finished sixteenth in the Premier League last season, having achieved seventh place in the 2024-25 season, which secured the club's return to European competition. In their Europa League campaign, Woods reached the semi-finals, but were knocked out by eventual winners Aston Villa. However, Glasner believes Forest's priorities should now shift towards the Premier League, rather than the European stage. “It's a great feeling and it's very exciting, and it's my first time at the City Ground officially,” Glasner said. "I've been there as a guest manager in the Premier League, obviously, and the atmosphere has always been fantastic, so I'm looking forward to leading Forest here. "I've been thinking about the project and when I spoke to the owner, it was one of the topics. "Being European champions twice, even though it's been a while, the history remains forever, as do the memories. This is a traditional club with a fantastic crowd and a very ambitious owner who wants to take a step forward. The squad is also very interesting, so these were the main reasons for me to take the job at Nottingham Forest. "The club is already on a good path since they got promoted a couple of years ago and played in the semi-finals of the Europa League. Now it is important to achieve greater continuity and regularly fight for the top positions in the rankings. We know how competitive the Premier League is. It's one thing to talk about it, but it's another thing to succeed, and we have to work on this. We have to create a playing identity, a way of approaching matches and I think it's also important for team spirit, for unity within the club and with the fans." Glasner's choice for the City Ground was a surprise, given the tensions that arose between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest last season, when the "Eagles" were excluded from the Europa League for breaching the rules on multiple owners, after Nottingham Forest's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, asked for their exclusion. brilliant 2024-25 season, Nottingham Forest have always fought to avoid relegation after being promoted from the Championship four years ago. They finished in sixteenth place twice (2022-23 and 2025-26) and seventeenth (2023-24), and Glasner highlighted the importance of the Forest staff in achieving success. "For me it is very important that it is stimulating and that there are challenges. I truly believe that we all together; the staff, the players, the fans, the management of the club, we can be very competitive in the Premier League, and that makes me excited," added Glasner. "There's no button you press that automatically makes this happen. It is a daily issue, which needs to be progressed in the coming days and weeks, and this is what we have already started working on. People are the most important thing and they are what gives me the most confidence in this project. I met amazing people; you can have the best stadium, the best training center, but if you don't have the right people, it doesn't work. "Now we have to find the best way to work together. It doesn't just have to be work for me, it has to be life for me too." Glasner's first Premier League match as Nottingham Forest coach will be at the City Ground against Leeds United on 22 August, while in October he will be a guest at Crystal Palace.
What happens now
With Glasner at the helm, Nottingham Forest will focus on building a solid and cohesive team to face the challenges of the new Premier League season. The next matches will be decisive to test the coach's new philosophy and to improve the position in the standings. Forest fans hope that this is the season in which the team can return to competing at a high level, both in the league and, possibly, in Europe.
